Honor postponed for Tyler Perry

ATLANTA (AP) - A resolution honoring entertainment mogul Tyler Perry, scheduled to be proclaimed Wednesday by the Georgia state Senate, has been postponed.

Perry was to be honored for his achievements as an entertainer and humanitarian. The 40-year-old New Orleans native and Atlanta resident would be the first celebrity to be honored in the chamber this session.

The resolution cites his sharp-tongued "Madea" character, his creation of Tyler Perry Studios as the first independent movie studio of its size in the state and his donations to area food banks and various charities.
